Biography
MOULTON, EBENEZER, Baptist minister; b. 25 Dec. 1709 in Windham, Connecticut, son of Robert Moulton and Hannah Grove; m. the widow of John Bound; d. in March 1783 at South Brimfield (Wales, Mass.).
A leader in the establishment of the first Baptist church at South Brimfield in 1736, Ebenezer Moulton was ordained its pastor on 4 Nov. 1741.

He received a land grant and established a residence at Cape Fourchu. A member in 1761 of the committee to divide lands in and admit settlers to Yarmouth Township, in the same year he was authorized to administer the oath of office to...Read MORE...

Biography
The following account of Ebenezer Moulton, given on page 466, Volume II., of the History of Baptists in New England, seems to be substantiated by record : 'The first Baptist church in the county of Hampshire was formed in Brimfield, 4th of November, 1736, and Mr. Ebenezer Moulton was ordained their pastor, 4th of November, 1741. His father and a majority of the church opposed the work that was then going on in the land, while he and a minor part were alive in it ; and they had much controversy about it for seven years, and then about fifteen of them told their experi ences to each other's satisfaction and signed new articles and a covenant, and Mr. Moulton took them as his church and would not allow any others to commune with them without coming in at this door. Elder Moulton was often called to other places to preach and baptize in and after 1749. He was called more than eighty miles that year and baptized ten at Bridgewater and three in Raynham. But as his people had been trained up ...Read MORE...
